There really isn't any risk of you having your coins stolen, if if you purchase a used one. The reddit link previously posted was a RARE exception. You can buy a used one and generate a new seed, and you'll be completely protected. It will be much cheaper than buying new.

i mine in nicehash and then send money on payout to coinbaseif i mine just eth, it goes to ethmine and then again send the money to coinbase

Worth the wait bro. Buy new from the manufacturer.

I never leave any of my coins on any exchange as you never do own the private keys and the risk of hacking is always there.

But they have an extra security feature called the vault.

Sometimes your money belongs in different places. This is why we keep some cash on hand, in a checking account, and in a savings account. Similarly, Coinbase users have the ability to organize funds into different 'wallets' as part of a Coinbase account - a standard 'wallet' or a 'vault' account.

A vault can receive funds like a normal wallet, but can also prevent stored funds from being immediately withdrawn by adding optional security steps. Users can also choose to split ownership between multiple users and email accounts, requiring these users to approve of a transaction before it can be completed.

A vault is created as a separate account in which to store funds.

1.Navigate to https://www.coinbase.com/accounts or select Accounts from the top of the page2.There you will see an option to create a new account3.You'll have the option to pick a currency:

No, I wouldn't keep most of my coins on an exchange. As an alternative you can use electrum or any desktop wallets that you hold the private keys.

I'll share you a little thought of mine. Before I saw people that are reselling nano ledger s and I'm interested of picking that one because it came from black Friday sale and I missed that one. But good thing that I ordered through direct website / manufacturer of ledgerwallet and few weeks later, this news came out.

If you're forced to keep your coins on an exchange for the time being, I urge you to make sure you have a strong alphanumeric password & what's even more important - Two Factor Authentication enabled. I recommend Google Authenticator rather than 2FA via sms, since I've read about cases of people who had text messages / calls redirected by hackers. Stay safe.
